What it is
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) records the heart's electrical activity using 12 or more stickers placed on the chest, arms and legs. It checks heart rhythm and signs of heart strain or past heart attacks. This code includes the doctor's interpretation and report.
What the price covers
